Does Flash Lite support database connectivity?
yes, it does.
Now,
If so, how?and how to connect flash to a database and how they can interactare same question.

Flash cannot directly talk to the Database.For this we require a 3 tier Architecture.
Flash ----->PHP----->MySql

That means, flash will talk to a server side script like PHP, ASP or JSP.Then that serverside script will get the data from Database and give it to Flash.
